NEW REDSEA REEFER NANO

eamm97 · Nov 24, 2020

Hey guys, here is my very first saltwater tank. I’m very excited!!! I’ve wanted to start one for years now and I finally did.

Any advice for a new reefer? Especially on how to deal with diatoms? I’m on week 4 now and it’s starting to explode!

Diatoms require silicate to thrive. Once it's been used up, and you don't add more, then they will go away. It's just one of the ugly phases.
